Low Fat Low Cal Vegan Pad Thai Recipes

Steps:

• In large pot, bring 3 quarts of water to a boil. When water boils, add noodles, stirring to prevent sticking. Cook until al dente, about 4 minutes. Drain.
• Meanwhile, in large wok or skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add bell pepper and garlic and stir-fry 3 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, snow peas and tofu and stir-fry just until tender, about 4 minutes. Add soy sauce and lime juice and bring to; simmer. Cook, stirring often, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in cooked noodles and cilantro.
• Spoon noodle mixture onto warm plates and garnish with cashews, green onions and bean sprouts.

Steps:

• Place noodles in a large bowl.
• Cover completely with boiling water, soak, stirring occasionally, until noodles are just tender, about 15 minutes.
• Drain well and set aside.
• Whisk egg in a small bowl, then stir in sugar, fish or oyster sauce, ketchup, Worcestershire, chili-garlic sauce and chili flakes.
• Set aside.
• Boil broth over high heat, uncovered and stirring occasionally, until liquid is reduced by half, about 6 minutes.
• Pour reduced chicken broth into a large, non-stick skillet, add garlic, chicken and shrimp.
• Stir frequently until shrimp start to turn pink and chicken starts to turn white.
• Stir in egg mixture, then add drained noodles.
• Stir to evenly coat.
• If noodles begin to stick, reduce heat to medium.
• Add green onions, peppers, coriander, mint and bean sprouts.
• Continue stirring until noodles are heated through, from 1 to 2 minutes.
• Add chopped peanuts if you want, but they will increase fat content for this lowfat recipe.
• Spoon into bowls and serve with lime.
• Note: You can substitute frozen pre-cooked shrimp for the fresh.

Steps:

• Soak the dry noodles in a large bowl of warm (90 degrees F/32 degrees C) water for about 1 hour. The noodles will start to absorb water, loosen up and be ready for the pan. If using fresh noodles, you can just open the package and add to the pan at the appropriate time.
• To make the sauce, stir together the soy sauce, tamarind paste, lime juice, sriracha, rice vinegar, palm sugar and 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) water in a small bowl until the sugar dissolves. Set aside.
• Heat a large skillet or wok over high heat until the pan gets pretty hot, about 1 minute. Add the oil and swirl to coat the pan completely. When the pan just starts to smoke, add the garlic and stir about 5 seconds. Add the tofu and turnip and stir-fry until they begin to get fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Add the drained noodles and cook until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the reserved sauce and paprika if using and fold together until the paprika evenly colors the noodles and all of the liquid is absorbed, about 2 minutes.
• Place half the scallions, peanuts and bean sprouts in the center of the noodles, then spoon some noodles over the mixture to cover and let steam for 30 seconds. Transfer to a serving plate and garnish with the remaining scallions, peanuts and bean sprouts.
